I will look into that and change for the next release.

The code to restore the preferences is already in the plugin, it is commented out until I figure out how to best to utilize it.
The problem is that since this new mode uses custom columns and templates, we can have a situation where the plugin trying to restore settings and failing because a custom column is no longer there, or user defined template function is deleted. When restoring from saved settings, the code actually checks for all these things, restores columns and algorithms that can be restored, and then presents the user with detailed error messages of what cannot be restored.
This can be easily applied to restore the preference from when the user last used the plugin, I just think it is ugly for the user to open the plugin and be greeted with an error message immediately. So, I thought about making this optional, but I am still not sure about the default, should it be set to restore or not, and should I do it as separate option for each dialog or just one that apply to all three dialogs.
Edit: Another option is to fail silently without an error message.
